“…The broad diffuse scattering like a ridge is also observed in HoB 2 C 2 . The satellite reflections and broad diffuse scatterings around ð1 0 0Þ are commonly observed in RB 2 C 2 (R ¼ Ce, Ho, Tb, Er), which is interpreted as reflecting the characteristic of the RKKY-type magnetic correlation of the RB 2 C 2 system [3,[8][9][10]. The satellite reflection of HoB 4 is also expected to be the characteristic of the RKKY-type magnetic interaction in the RB 4 system.…”
